The English Department is divided into two channels with a focus on Literature and Linguistics. The English Literature program offers various courses in English poetry, fiction, drama, literary theory, etc. and also looks into each subject with particular time periods in focus. The Linguistic program provides courses in phonetics, phonology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, conversatin analysis, as well as language acquisition and English education.

Through such diversity in course material, we are prepared to provide substantial understanding in English language as well as literature and culture.
